Best Producer

Wolfgang Zimmerman

Staff Pick

With Josh Kaler now in Nashville, Wolfgang Zimmerman is quickly emerging as the town’s preeminent producer. In fact, many, if not most, of the best discs to come out of the Holy City feature Zimmerman behind the boards. Let’s see, there’s Johnny Delaware’s Secret Wave, Elim Bolt’s Dingy, Slimy, Scummy EP, Brave Baby’s Forty Bells (Zimmerman’s band), Heyrocco’s “Melt,” Jordan Igoe's How to Love, and Susto’s self-titled LP. If the Charleston scene breaks big, a lot of the credit will have to go to Zimmerman. —Chris Haire
